Several contaminants must be removed from laboratory water to achieve a suitable grade of purity for use with assays.
Lab water purification units must remain decontaminated to reduce the interference of bacteria.
Various simple service deionisation (SDI) systems are not completely effective in purifying water and removing unwanted contaminants.
UV germicidal lamps are used to inactivate bacteria within purified water, altering the bacteria’s DNA structure, which prevents microorganism growth.
Intermediary reservoirs assist in reducing bacterial growth, shaped to maximise drainage.
Water purification systems should be fitted with a 0.2?m filter to ensure the bacteria count is kept to a minimum.
Each component within the Merck Millipore lab water purification system is designed to contribute to the purity of the water and maintain the level of bacteria below 10 cfu/mL.
